Turn of the fear mongering of Fauxnews and get with the program of FACTS, NONE of this tramples on your civil liberties unless you think it is a right to be able to buy guns without having to prove that you arent a criminal

Really what so bad about making sure we keep guns out of the hands of TERRORISTS and violent FELONS? I know so far none on the far right have explained why we should allow them to arm at gunshows and private sales is a good thing. Waiting on your good quality reason on why you want a convicted murder to have a bushmaster .223 caliber AR-15. I am waiting why should a convicted MURDER have legal access to AR-15 ( which is the case today when you have those loopholes in background checks) Heck we could even arm 1000 MUSLIM terrorists thru those loopholes and do a Mumbai terrorist attack in New York or Chicago or some other major city and kill 25,000.. all by LEGALLY purchased firearms due to the loopholes you think are a civil liberty.

So explain why do you want to keep arming MURDERS and TERRORISTS. I am waiting for a good answer that isnt the usual right wing nonsense

Go actually read the Executive Orders. They do no infringe on any of your civil liberties as per the Bill of Rights or the Constitution, nor do they infringe on your human rights as per the UN treaty.

You have to realize that there are quite a few people out there who think this, and many of the other recent mass shootings were actually orchestrated by the government for the sole purpose of building public opinion to banning guns.

There is zero way you will be able to convince them that this is anything other than a full on assault against the second amendment.

No, you go read them. I understand what the agenda is, you do not. Look at all his years as president, if you don't see it there is no helping you. Liberties are never taken away all at once, "Little by Little" is the key term here.

Again, ignorance is bliss. Enjoy it.

But read them none of them have anything to do with rights they are mostly setting up agencies to study why school shootings happen.

instead of assaulting his intelligence, can you prove him wrong with a valid counter arguement backed with proof?

Right wing gun nuts dont like facts and such. they live by the mantra more guns better more safe. If that dogma of idiocy was true we would be the SAFEST country in the world already since gun ownership is extremely high. And it can only be called idiocy when you deny the facts so blatantly as the NRA does.

And all of those had support from Congress or were initiated by Congress, your elected representatives in Government. Don't like it, don't elect them.

Wow there's some massive trampling going on right there *eyeroll* lol @ people who went all tinfoil hat before even reading this list.

I'm ambivalent on gun control. I see other countries with lots of guns and none of the US's problems. It does seem to be a cultural problem, but not OMG GAEMS AND MOOVEES, more 1) lack of mental health services and related gun restrictions and 2) the NRA-backed patriot/cowboy mythology that guns are tools for solving problems. That is, if it weren't for the NRA, there'd be less reason to take guns away. I think that's irony, I'm never sure. Thanks Alanis.

Anyway, these executive orders just do what little Obama can, particularly on that first mental health point, within the laws that exist. Good for him, now let's see if Congress does anything meaningfBAHAHAHA couldn't finish the sentence.

His whole presidency? You do know that in his term as president, there were only two gun laws he signed, and they were to EXPAND gun rights. So please ... tell me what he has done to take your guns?

None of the Executive Orders affect you in the slightest (unless you are one of the people given a new job). The actual gun legislation is in the hands of Congress, not the President.

It's how they reinforce their preconceptions. They had two possible reactions they could resort to, which cover every possible announcement the President could have made today.

The first, which is what we're seeing is "This won't change anything, because the President stayed within the limited authority of his Executive powers and is allowing Congress to develop further legislation!" They choose to be outraged because he didn't wave a magic wand and fix gun crime forever.

The second was "He's exceeded his authority as President, and Congress must overthrow those orders! Impeach! Impeach!" No matter what he'd proposed, if he'd exceeded his powers, this would have been the talking about.

The two points cover every possible outcome. They can sustain their outrage regardless of what the President actually says. This is the same attitude that leads to Obama being considered both an empty suit and the most dangerous Marxo-socialist the Presidency has ever seen, both at the same time. It has nothing to do with the President's actual statements or policies, and everything to do with an irrational hatred of the man filling the position, for either reasons of blind political affiliation, or worse reasons, such as flat-out racism.

This isn't true of most Republican voters, or even Conservatives in general, but there's definitely a vocal minority who follow this trend. It's no different than "liberal" types who'll make fun of, say, Governor Christie, even when the man is complimenting President Obama on his leadership during and after the hurricane that hit the East Coast. Reasonable people of either side are perfectly able and willing to discuss points of policy and accept shades of grey on either side, rather than a flat-out condemnation at all costs, regardless of the actual points in question.

No, you go read them. I understand what the agenda is, you do not. Look at all his years as president, if you don't see it there is no helping you. Liberties are never taken away all at once, "Little by Little" is the key term here.

Or in this case, no civil liberties. If you cannot listen to reason then there is no helping you.

OH noes i cant buy a gun if i am a convicted terrorist oh the horrors. I am sure the victims in Newtown feels your support for the terrorists and convicted murder's since you value there right to buying AR-15's HIGHER than the right of 20 kids to be allowed to safely go to school.

Take a look at history and see for yourself hat happens when Guns are banned? Things always get worse, every single time. You cannot argue against that unless you choose to remain ignorant. In extreme cases like Hitler, Stalin, etc. Things got really bad. All these gun proposals and laws like this only serve to push it in that direction, this is what is pissing people off and scaring many. People who know history know to be concerned.
